't Drenkelingenhuisje

Believe it or not... it doesn't look like much... but this is a marriage location.

Ages ago we decided to get married here and we go back there if we can.

The cabin is a really small beachcomb museum and now they told us

it's 1 of 10 most wanted marriage locations in the world.

Yeah right... it sounds like a story for tourism but having said that

it worked for us and we wouldn't change it for the world!

Once we decided to get married, we searched for a perfect and remote location.

We found 't Drenkelingenhuisje, a cabin built on the Vliehors for stranded sailors.

Twenty years ago our family and close friends joined us to the Sahara of the North.

So we went back again, this time accompanied by close friends...

IK LAAD MIJN HART VOL WADDENZEE. EEN BEETJE STIEKEM, ZONDER VRAGEN

IK NEEM EEN BEETJE VLIELAND MEE, ZOVEEL ALS IK KAN DRAGEN

Vlieland is such a tranquil place...

Homesick for Vlieland

Vlieland is one of my happy places... sea, beach and quietness...

I just love secluded beaches... a peaceful stroll in solitude...

a bit of beachcombing...

in the evening a delicious diner for two at the Armhuis

followed by another day of cycling, walking and searching (smile)

The kenderman is taking shelter here.

The strong wind made it almost impossible to set foot on the Vliehors.

you can't tell but the wind was fierce!

On our way back to the cottage I spotted some Soay sheep in the dunes.

And on Monday we arrived back to the mainland.

We'll go back to Vlieland (over and over) again...

Extended Weekend

Last Friday we went back to Harlingen... for the ferry to Vlieland

the dark spots on the sand are seals... in the background you can see Vlieland!

Oost-Vlieland

an 'invasion' of tourists spreading across the village...

you can find all of my Vlieland posts and photos here

On the Island

What to do having set foot on the island?

∙dropping off our bags at the luggage carrier

∙picking up the key for the holiday home

∙renting some bikes (e-bikes for the first time)

∙shopping for some basic groceries (home delivery) 

∙and crashing on the terrace (big smile)

It feels like coming home again...

Back to Vlie

After boarding the ferry in Harlingen... finally heading for Vlieland again!

Enjoying an almost two hour boat trip... and then Vlieland within reach!
